The Mountain Goats

Got Sweden, sorta liked it. Seemed kinda homogenous for 19 songs, and not "flowing continuity" homogenous, more "monstrous blob" homogenous. But it had its high points, and those alone are enough to make me look more into him.

Although I love their older lo-fi stuff, I actually prefer their newer, cleaner music. Check out Tallahesse and The Sunset Tree. If you're looking for individual songs, check out 'This Year', 'Lion's teeth', 'No Children' and 'Tallahesse.'

i guess tallahassee's the one everyone talks about, but i've never really been able to listen to it strait through. but i can definitely listen to we shall be healed strait through. i listened to that strait through for like a month strait after i bought it.

but who cares.

one warning to a new mountain goats fan, i believe there's another band by that name, but they're some kind of religious music. just be sure to check the record labels if you buy one of their cds, make sure it's the good kind of mountain goat

I personally like listening to their live stuff on YouTube a bit more than listening to John's recordings. Although his older lo-fi stuff is good. Palmcorder Yajna from We Shall Be Healed was the first song of his I ever heard and still my favorite.
